PRESENTATION - TEL-LIFE CALIFORNIA: Ms. Patricia Sheranian, Manager, Tel-Life of Orange County, briefed the Council on TCN, Inc., a Tele-communications Network of Tel-Life stations providing helpful, free information to the public in communities throughout America and elaborated on the three aspects of the program as outlined in a letter dated January 6, 1978 (on file in the City Clerk's Office). She also briefed the Council on the TCN quarterly magazine which contained further informa- tion and various articles, specifically the four purposes of the program as outlined on page 11. Ms. Sheranian then played two condensed tapes, "How Does a Law Become a Law" and "History of the Flag of California" as an example of the information that could be provided to the public at no charge merely by dialing a phone number and requesting to hear a certain numbered tape.

Werner Buck Sports Show Days" - January 7-15, 1978 Mr. Milt Honek accepted the proclamation and stated it is always a great pleasure to bring the show to Anaheim's fine facilities.

Hopkins explained that as the Council was aware and as a result of a recent court decision, the City had to change the method by which it performed con- struction work in park construction areas. On those projects having a value between $5,000 and $10,000, staff submitted a recommendation to the Council stating it could perform those projects at a cost less than the private sector. Subsequently, if the Council so determined, they could order staff to proceed by resolution. For those projects in excess of $10,000, staff would be required to prepare plans and specifi- cations, go out to bid, review bids received and subsequently again recommend to the Council that staff forces could perform at less cost than private forces. At that time, Council would again make the appropriate finding and, by resolution, order staff to proceed. There were several projects pending that could be undertaken within the $5,000 to $10,000 range which presently required the necessary authorization in order to proceed. Mr. Hopkins continued that the City was gradually phasing out their construction program because of several factors: (1) the amount of parks being developed was now at a less intensive degree in terms of the future, (2) funds provided by the State for park developments were beginning to be used up, and funds inside the City for generating those types of capital projects were not sufficient to maintain a full-scale program, (3) as parks were developed, more attention was being given to maintenance and repair activities. Mr. James Ruth, Director of Parks, Recreation and the Arts Department, thereupon introduced five projects in the $5,000 to $10,000 range which could be performed by staff forces at less cost than through the private sector involving Maxwell, Juar~z, Schweitzer and Rio Vista Parks. Mr. Ruth explained that each met the requirements for the City Charter and they could proceed immediately on the projects with final completion in approximately seven weeks. Further, they would be prepared within two weeks to submit to the Council, plans and specifications in order to go to bid on Peralta Canyon Park as well as the landscaping, irrigation and concrete walkways around the new Brookhurst Community Center. At the time of completion of the first five projects, they could proceed with the additional two major projects which would take them out to the balance of the fiscal year. The Mayor clarified that the City had been litigated against recently regarding pro- cedural aspects on construction, and as a result, it now had to institute different procedures to do particular types of construction. The City did have its own con- struction crews, but now the new procedure had to be followed prior to the crews working on the projects proposed for completion. Councilwoman Kaywood offered Resolution Nos. 78R-15 through 78R-19, both inclusive, for adoption, as recommended by the Director of Parks, Recreation and the Arts Depart- ment.

Additionally, a motion was necessary directing the City Clerk to transmit copies of City measures to the City Attorney for preparation of im- partial analyses pursuant to Elections Code Section 5011. The Mayor noted that authors for and against a measure had to be named relative to the fourth resolution proposed. Councilman Seymour stated that since he led the way, beginning last June, on the tax limitation measure, he wanted the opportunity to write the argument for and invited Councilwoman Kaywood and Councilman Roth to add their signatures to it if they wished since they joined him in placing it on the ballot. The Mayor thereupon stated he would write the argument against the measure, thus his and Councilman Seymour's names were to be inserted in the resolution accordingly. Councilman Roth offered Resolution No. 78R-20 through 78R-23, both inclusive, for adoption, as recommended in memorandum dated January 14, 1978, from the City Clerk, stipulating in Resolution No. 78R-20 that poll time would be from 7:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m., and in Resolution No. 78R-23 authorizing Council Members Seymour, Kaywood and Roth to file a written argument in favor, and Council Member Thom against, the proposed tax limitation measure.

Roll Call Vote: AYES: COUNCIL MEMBERS: Kaywood, Seymour, Roth and Thom NOES: COUNCIL MEMBERS: None ABSENT: COUNCIL MEMBERS: Kott The Mayor declared Resolution No. 78R-25 duly passed and adopted. 153: REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL - EMPLOYEE GROUP VISION CARE BENEFITS: (continued from December 27, 1977) The Mayor noted that letters had been received from various employee associations with one or more urging that opthalmalogical care be in- cluded in w[sion care benefits. 78-25 City Hall, A~aheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - January 10~ 1978, 1:30 P.M. Personnel Director Garry McRae stated such care had always been included and he was not certain what the confusion was at the December 27, 1977 meeting. The Mayor clarified the confusion arose when it was found that the request for solicitation of proposals on employee group vision care covered examination for lenses by an optometrist or oculist, but not an opthalmalogist and there were those who wanted the service performed by an opthalmalogist. Mr. McRae explained that opthalmalogists were covered in the prepaid portion as well as optometrist. The plan thus provided for payment of those fees to non-plan parti- cipating professional people and provisions were made for this occurrence. Refractions were performed by an optometrist although an opthalmalogist could also do so and obtain payment accordingly if they were performed on the basis of the plan. The question raised about treatment of eye diseases was covered under the regular health insurance. In answer to Councilwoman Kaywood, Mr. McRae stated that the cost to the City would not be higher if refractions were performed by an opthalmalogist instead of an optometrist. If members or employees went to a person not a participant in the plan, then that physician would bill the plan. Subsequently the plan would pay a certain portion and the employee would be responsible for the additional cost so the cost to the City would be the same. On motion by Councilman Thom, seconded by Councilman Roth, the Personnel Director was authorized to solicit proposals for employee group vision care benefits. Council- man Kott was absent. MOTION CARRIED. 160: PURCHASE OF EQUIPMENT - SIX COMPACT CARS - BID NO. 3356: On motion by Council- man Seymour, seconded by Councilman Roth, the low bid of Guaranty Chevrolet was accepted on Item No. 1 and purchased authorized in the amount of $21,100.04, and the lowest net bid of McCoy Ford Company on Item 2 was accepted and purchase authorized in the amount of $5,098.16, both including tax, as recommended by the Purchasing Agent. Councilman Kott was absent. MOTION CARRRIED. 160: PURCHASE OF EQUIPMENT - TWENTY-SIX POLICE VEHICLES - BID NO. 3355: On motion by Councilman Roth, seconded by Councilwoman Kaywood, the lowest net bid of Fletcher Jones Chevrolet on Item 1 was accepted and purchase authorized in the amount of $96,586.80, and the the lowest net bid of Santa Ana Dodge Company on Item 2 was accepted and purchase authorized in the amount of $36,865.82, both including tax, as recommended by the Purchasing Agent in his memorandum dated January 3, 1978. Councilman Kott was absent. MOTION CARRIED. 108: RECONSIDERATION OF APPLICATION FOR SOLICITATION OF CHARITY FUNDS: Request by the Arthritis Foundation for reconsideration of Application for Solicitation of Charity Funds, for limited neighborhood door-to-door solicitation to finance the Chapter's medical and service program for 1977-78~ for the month of February 1978, was submitted. The City Clerk confirmed for the Council that a list of solicitors as requested had been submitted by the Foundation. 78-26 ~ity Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - January 10, 1978, 1:30 P.M. Mr. Lawson Mead, a volunteer for the Arthritis Foundation, stated he was present to respond to any questions concerning the application. The Mayor stated that the three-page letter dated December 21, 1977, from Isabel Rosenquist, Associate Director of the Arthritis Foundation/Orange County Branch, in his opinion, cleared up any doubts the Council might previously have had. For Mr. Mead's information, he explained that the City had a policy wherein, unless an organization was based in Anaheim, they did not vote favorably on any permit allowing door-to-door sol~citation. Considering the letter of explanation, however, he offered a motion to approve the Application for Solicitation of Charity Funds by the Arthritis Foundation as requested. Councilman Seymour seconded the motion. Councilman Kott was absent. MOTION CARRIED. 108: CONSIDERATION OF REASSESSMENT OF THE GROSS RECEIPTS BUSINESS LICENSE TAX LEVIED AGAINST THE SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA GAS COMPANY: Mr. Frank B. Ayala, 226 East Lincoln, representing the Southern California Gas Company, submitted a position paper to the Council as well as a packet of material relative to the subject matter. He then briefed the Council on Appendix A, Taxes Paid in 1976, and B, Proposed Retroactive Taxes and Penalties. Subsequently he then read aloud the position paper dated January 10, 1978 (on file in the City Clerk's Office) wherein the Gas Company maintained that the method historically followed in the payment of business license tax since 1938 was the most fair and equitable way to assess fees for natural gas sales; that is, under the franchise provisions granted by the City by Ordinance No. 624. The Mayor considered Mr. Ayala's argument to be a valid one and was sympathetic with the Gas Company's position based on its historical background, and he felt the former practice should continue. Councilman Roth was also in agreement and commended Mr. Ayala for his presentation. In answer to the Mayor, the City Attorney recommended that in order to exempt the Gas Company from paying what the Audit Department indicated they should pay, an ordinance exempting public utilities from the gross receipts tax (part of the packet presented by Mr. Ayala) would be a method of accomplishing such action. It would be an amendment to the existing ordinance which could be prepared and subsequently submitted to the Council for action. The Mayor asked if the Audit Depatment had also approached Pacific Telephone relative to its charges on fees that they charged their customers for telephone calls as being subject to the City's business tax. Mr. Hopkins stated that because the telephone company received its franchise from the State, the City was not able at this time to make a charge to the telephone company. However, the electric and gas companies would be subject to the City's gross receipts tax. Assistant City Manager Hopkins noted that Southern California Edison paid approxi- mately a $1,000 fee to the City for a power transmission station coming into the City. If the proposed amendment to the ordinance was approved, Edison would thus be exempt from paying that amount of money. 78-27 _City Hall, Anaheim~ California- COUNCIL MINUTES- January 10~ 1978~ 1:30 P.M. MOTION: Councilman Seymour supported the position, recognizing the double taxation of the Gas Company, and stated that the ordinance should be amended accordingly. He, therefore, moved that the Southern California Gas Company be exempt from the alleged amount of tax owed and that staff be instructed to draw up an amendment to the City ordinance to preclude the situation from occurring again. Councilman Roth seconded the motion. Councilman Kott was absent. MOTION CARRIED. 150/174: ANAHEIM HISTORICAL SOCIETY - COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT (CDBG) FUNDS FOR A SURVEY AND INVENTORY OF HISTORIC SITES: Presentation by Diann Marsh, re- questing an expenditure of $10,000 in the second-year Community Development Block Grant funds for a survey and inventory of historic sites. Mrs. Diann Marsh explained that the Anaheim Historical Society was not requesting the money for themselves, but it would be in the name of any organization that wished to help in the proposed survey. She did not know why the money allocated for the survey two years prior through CDBG had not been utilized. Mrs. Marsh explained that some members of the Society had attended a Survey Workshop at a National Trust Conference held in March of 1977 and the professionals at the workshop recommended that one consultant be hired to work with the community volunteers in performing the survey and inventory, and this method was confirmed by the Survey Coordinator in Sacramento to be the best; that is, the hiring of a single consultant only as opposed to a consulting firm. Mrs. Marsh then referred to the letters she had sent to other interested groups in the City, copies of which had been submitted to the Council. The letter to the Mother Colony House Advisory Board was read at their dinner held the previous night, and it was recommended it be passed on to their Board of Directors. Mrs. Schultz, Chairman of the Library Board, indicated they were interested in other programs but considered the project proposed by the Historical Society to be a good one. Over all, the organizations contacted were in favor of having the funds released for the proposed survey and inventory. A letter just received from the Mother Colony House Advisory Board also indicated their approval and suggested the formation of a committee to help in gathering all pertinent facts and information necessary. Mrs. Marsh requested that the funds be released immediately since they had been sitting idle for two years and it would take an additional two months to get the funds released. Mrs. Sarah Fay Pearson, Chairman of the Mother Colony Household, indicated she was well aware of the Historic Resources Inventory forms that needed to be com- pleted because they were introduced by her when she served as a member of the Orange County Historical Commission, and they had been reviewing those forms before they were returned to Sacramento. She, therefore, knew that it took a knowledgeable con- sultant to complete the forms and hours of research were necessary to do so properly. Thus, her personal recommendation, which she believed would eventually be supported, was to hire someone in the nature of Leo J. Friis, who was very familiar with the background history of the Anaheim community. With that, she would be thoroughly in favor of the project. She concluded by stating there was much to be proud of in the City, but only one person able to give expert advice was in the person of Mr. Friis. 78-28 City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - January 10~ 1978~ 1:30 P.M. The Mayor suggested that perhaps a representative from each of the four organiza- tions such as the Mother Colony Household, the Mother Colony Advisory Board and Friends of the Public Library make up a steering committee to initiate action on the project since equal representation from all groups could be utilized to gain overall satisfaction. Mrs. Pearson felt that a steering committee was necessary. Additional input was received on the matter from ~he following people: Mr. Harry Bayley, 801 North Loara, wholeheartedly supported the request of Diann Marsh. Such a survey could unearth items and facts which would be a source of pride in the City's past, a source of joy in the City's present, and a source of vital education for generations to come. Mr. Doug Renner, representing the Mother Colony House Advisory Board, submitted to the Council a letter dated January 9, 1978, from the Board referred to previously by Mrs. Marsh. He stated that the Mayor's suggestion relative to the formation of a committee was a conclusion that they did not form in their letter because they did not want to be that precise. Basically, they wanted to give general approval to the survey. However, if such a steering committee could be formed with a repre- sentative from each of the organizations as articulated, it would be a positive step in the right direction and the Advisory Board would be favorably impressed by that action. Mrs. Eileen Anthony urged the City Council to consider favorably Mr. Leo Friis as the consultant and advisor. She was also in favor of everyone working together on the project. Mrs. Patricia Bayley, 801 North Loara, suggested that the Historical Survey be placed in the hands of someone who could take a fresh look at the entire situation in the City. She therefore recommended that the person selected to conduct the survey be from outside the community. Although Mrs. Marsh agreed that Mr. Friis knew more about Anaheim history than any- one else, she stated he was not a building expert. He was presently in the process of writing a book on buildings and she was of the opinion that the additional respon- sibility would be placing too much of a burden on him. She continued that Mr. Friis did not consider the Cahen house to have historical value, as well as historic Valedict tiles which were direct copies of the frieze from the Villa Bandini in Rome in 150 AD which were destroyed. She reiterated that Mr. Friis knew more about stories and people than anyone but he was not a building expert and what was needed was a fresh, unbiased look. Input could be given by all the organizations and subsequently the person, preferably an architect/historian, could evaluate that input and decide what was right. Councilman Roth suggested that the funds be released and then have the Committee come back to the Councll with recommendations relative to a consultant. Mrs. Marsh was interested in having proposals solicited for a consultant and Mr. Frii could also submit one at that time. Councilwoman Kaywood could not see the advantage in engaging someone new who would have to start from the beginning when the expertise of Mr. Friis was available. She asked Mrs. Marsh if she saw any merit in having a consultant work along with Mr. Friis. 78-29 _CCity Hall, Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - January 10~ 1978~ 1:30 P.M. Mrs. Marsh stated that would be the consultant's function; that input from every group and organization would be gathered and that data would be given to the pro- fessional, who would then evaluate it to ascertain what should and should not be included in an inventory. Mrs. Mildred Campbell, Chairman of the Community Services Board, stated that after listening to the discussions, she was concerned because, according to the CSB memo- randum dated January 13, 1978, submitted by her, the Community Services Department staff, not the Board, was requesting that the funds be placed under their jurisdiction, and they would decide how it was to be spent. Mayor Thom stated that he envisioned the Council making the final determination and recommended that an ad hoc steering committee be formed to work with the Community Development Department staff and the Community Services Board to implement the utili- zation of the funds for a consultant, or Mr. Friis or the like. He would be reluctant to see staff or the committee spend the funds without Council input. At the request of the Mayor, Mr. Norm Priest explained that in order to get the funds released, it was merely a matter of requesting same from the Department of Housing and Urban Development. Subsequently, they would be released to the Community Develop- ment Department. It would be his recommendation at that point in time, to hold the funds in the Department and work them through Neighborhood Preservation or CDBG rather than through Community Services. He considered the idea of a committee as proposed to be an excellent one and staff would be happy to work with such a committee. The Mayor thereupon recommended that the Community Development staff apply for release of the funds and that a select ad hoc committee be formed from the various organizations previously mentioned to work with the expenditure of the funds to the majority's satis- faction. Councilman Seymour interjected that as he understood the situation, it was a matter of trying to identify historical sites and buildings and he had to agree with both Mrs. Pearson and Mrs. Anthony that he could not begin to conceive of anybody as quali- fied as Leo Friis. Although he did not want to make that decision today, he empha- sized the final selection should be made at the Council level and he did not wish to abrogate that responsibility. He was supportive of the Mayor's concept but the committee should not be instructed to recommend one consultant. At this point, how- ever, it would be difficult for him to make another selection other than Mr. Friis. The Mayor did not disagree and stated the committee should work with whatever con- sultant the Council selected. The groups were aware of the Council's bent toward Mr. Friis but they would try to maintain objectivity in the selection. After further discussion regarding the makeup of the committee, Councilman Thom moved to instruct the Community Development Department to apply for release of the $10,000 in the second-year Community Development Block Grant funds for a survey and inventory of historic sites. Subsequently, one member of the Mother Colony Household, Mother Colony House Advisory Board, Friends of the Anaheim Public Library, Anaheim Historical Society, Ebell Club, and the Women's Division of the Chamber of Commerce would be appointed to a special ad hoc steering committee to scope out the proposal and make a recommendation relative to a consultant. Final selelction of the consultant to be made by the Council. Councilman Seymour seconded the motion. Councilma~ Kott was absent.

Reports by the Community Development and Planning Departments dated January 3, ]978, were submitted recommending submission of the application and finding the fourth-year Community Development Block Grant application as a continuation of the project addressed in previous CDBG applications and is adequately covered under previous application-related Environmental Impact Report Nos. 140 and 170, including the January, 1977 Supplement. Mr. Norm Priest, Executive Director of Community Development, recommended that the application as set forth in the Budget already reviewed (see minutes of December 13, 1977) be submitted for A-95 Review after which it would again be brought before the Council for approval for submission to the Department of Housing and Urban Development. The Mayor asked if anyone wished to be heard relative to the proposed application for the Fourth Year Community Development Block Grant activities. Mr. Richard Vargas was concerned about the progress of the multi-purpose neighborhood center, and as well, questioned the 1978-79 allocation of $281,000 for the center which he believed differed from that recommended by the Community Services Board. Mr. Priest first spoke relative to the progress in attaining a multi-purpose neighbor- hood center. As background, he explained that appr~xJmately a year prior they recom- mended one site for a drop-in center and now they w~,re operating two such centers, one on the opposite side of Lincoln. These were not to be regarded as a multi-purpose center, but only temporary arrangements. They were continuing to look for appropriate sites and also added additional funds in the Fourth Year Budget. The sites needed to conform to two criteria, (1) to meet the service needs of the people of the area and (2) it had to be within some reasonable cost package. In looking at sites, some met one requirement but not the other; however, t:hey were getting closer and with the additional money included in this year's budget application, a recommended total of $531,000 would be available from Block Grant funds. Additionally, it was possible with certain findings from the Council for the Redevelopment Agency to participate in such a project. They were also seeking to attain larger quarters for what would be a modified neighborhood center in the downtown area until such time as a permanent facility was acquired. Mrs. Mildred Campbell, Chairman of the Community Services Board, stated that overall the application was acceptable to the Board. In answer to Mr. Vargas' question relative to the amount allocated in the budget for the multi-purpose center, she stated they recommended $300,000; the Mayor interjected that the $281,000 recommended~ by staff was close to the Board's recommended allocation. 78-31 City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - January 10, 1978, 1:30 P.M. Mrs. Campbell also noted on page 10, AiO of the draft Fourth Year Community Develop- ment Block Grant Application that Neighborhood Enhancement, which covered the multi-purpose center, also included open space and parks as well as recreational and social services facilities. She conceded that although open space and parks were nice to have, such projects could take a good deal of money away from the Community Center and that concerned her greatly. Of all the open meetings the Community Services Board had with the public to obtain input, the one that was best attended dealt with the multi-purpose center for which the young people were desper- ately fighting for a number of years but which project had not yet come to fruition. She thus did not want to see any money diverted from the center for parks or open space. Otherwise, the budget concurred with that recommended by the Community Services Board. Councilwoman Kaywood referred to page 9, A-8 of the draft application pertaining to Public Improvements--Sewers and Storm Drains, wherein it stated that a portion of the work needed in the central City area to help eliminate flooding during the rainy season had been funded or planned through the CDBG program and the Redevelopment Program. She wanted to know if additional bonding would be needed to take care of the storm drains. Mr. Priest explained that in the redevelopment area and in the areas served by the drainage areas, Redevelopment funds were geared to cover a longer term in the target area. In the immediate downtown area, they did not anticipate selling additional bonds or using additional funds other than Block Grant funds to the best of his knowledge. There being no further persons who wished to speak, the Mayor closed the public hearing. On motion by Councilwoman Kaywood, seconded by Councilman Thom, Environmental Impact Report Nos. 140 and 170, including the January, 1977 Supplement were approved as previously certified. Councilman Kott was absent. MOTION CARRIED. Councilman Seymour offered Resolution No. 78R-26 for adoption, authorizing submission of the Community Development Block Grant Fourth Year Application for the A-95 Review Process as recommended in memorandum dated January 3, 1978, from the Executive Director of Community Development.

For informational purposes, Mr. Priest stated they anticipated March 21, 1978 to be the date for the next public bearing on the Block Grant Program since Marcb 30, 1978, was the deadline for submitting the final application. If submittal went beyond that date, they would have to work under an entirely new set of regulations; thus, they were aiming for the March 30th deadline.

Further, the City Planning Commission recommended waiver of Council Policy No. 538. A review of the subject reclassification and variance was requested by Councilwoman Kaywood at the meeting of November 29, 1977. Miss Santalahti described the location and surrounding land uses. She outlined the findings given in the staff report which was submitted to and considered by the City Planning Commission. The Mayor asked if the Applicant or Applicant's Agent was present and desirous of being heard. Mr. Bill Carr, general partner, Easter Island, Ltd., 1440 East First' Street, Santa Ana, indicated his presence. The Mayor asked if anyone wished to speak either in favor or in opposition; there being no response, he closed the public hearing. Councilwoman Kaywood stated that someone was supposed to be present who wanted to speak on the subject Reclassification and Variance and a letter was supposed to have been submitted. HACMAC had recommended denial because the project was entirely too dense. She also noted that one lot, Lot No. 6, was 8 feet below the street grade and she wondered whether or not it was a swix~ing pool today considering the heavy rains. Mr. Carr stated that Lot No. 6 sloped down into the Canyon and no water was standing on any of the lots. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT - NEGATIVE DECLARATION: On motion by Councilman Roth, seconded by Councilman Thom, the City Council finds that this project will have no significant effect on the environment since the Anaheim General Plan designates the subject property for hillside, low-density residential land uses commensurate with the proposal and is, therefore, exempt from the requirement to prepare an EIR.
